Thanks, Fred. I'm actually more interested in the Camranger as a time-saver when I'm staging the scene. Hoping it will save alot of trips back to the camera when I'm making small tweaks to furniture and such. Assistants are never in my budgets, so I'm hoping this will gain some efficiency.

Right that is a huge advantage being able to walk around the room, hall or whatever and carry your live view around with you..Even with an assistant it's just nice to be able to move things around yourself and contemplate what you are doing rather than driving your assistant nuts with your tweaks.

That won't give him what he is looking for. He want's to move around the room and make adjustments to furniture and props havinglive view on a tablet wirelessly connected to the camera without using another wifi network or having to set up a PC or MAC thatis hard wired to the camera.

Antonio -- nice, and I'm jealous! I've been wanting to shoot furniture FOREVER. May have stumbled into an opportunity recently, working on a creative proposal this weekend.I like the last one especially - but the first one seems a little flat, to me.

Hello Scott, I'm very lucky to have this client. Nice work and lots of fun.Next week we're shooting some new sets, I'll fallow your advise. Thanks.ACH

I'm surprised to feel this, but all your chairs seem alive to me. I'm not sure I'm crazy about the chairs themselves, but the way you lit and photographed them makes them seem like characters in relationship to each other. Well done!!!

A favorite from recent history. One of the most fun parts of these shoots is arranging the set walls and platforms to add geometry to the composition and then of course lighting everything for depth and a bit of playful mystery.

No, I have never shot tethered. As nice as it would be I'm afraid it might be too time consuming lugging the computer & stand around with the rest of the gear. Hopefully the camranger will give me the best of both worlds.

I simply can't imagine trying to work without the tether, both for composition and file backup. It really akes very little time. I'm using the ipad as you suggest using the camranger. Best of luck.

I think its might be interesting to ask how long everyone has been doing this stuff?

I'm at 32 years. I too have many times been amazed that I get paid for doing what I love.

I built a rudimentary darkroom in the root cellar in 1968, when I was 14. We lived near a large air force base in New Brunswick, Canada, which also had a number of US air force personnel stationed there. One of them was a neighbour and kindly lent me his 4x5 speed graphic and 35mm Exacta, as well as a 35mm enlarger.

After three years of photography school, I started in business in 1975 as a photojournalist covering the political scene in Ottawa. I mostly do architecture now, as well as a mix of industrial, corporate and aerial photography.

Here is a recent project shot with a 5D11, 17mm TSE for the interior and 24 TSE for the exterior.

People sometimes ask me when I plan to retire. I tell them I have never had a job, so I can't very well retire!
